AKM dacs - which products use them ?

I have been pleasently surprised with the sound of my low-cost soundcard EMU 0404 and Behringer DEQ2496 digital EQ/AD/DA. They have a warm and natural sound to them.
I have noticed they both use AKM dacs which if I recall is the tool of choice for APL's Alex Peychev super modded Esoteric players which are supposed to be the "best digital sources on the planet".

I am trying to compile a list of audiophile dacs or cd/dvd players that use them hoping to find an upper scale product which would do the full justice to those dac chips in a full blown implementation.

Spraglow, AKM is widely used in Pro Audio applications. Their latest DACs and ADCs are amongst the best available today.

What is the part number on the DAC and ADC used in your equipment?

As far as I know, there are a few Pro Audio equipment manufactures who are evaluating the latest AK4396 DAC. I also think that there are now at least two High-End Audio manufacturers evaluating those too, but I am not aware of any other currently available Audiophile products using the latest AK4396 AKM DACs.

I will point the attention of AKM USA to this thread so they can provide more definitive answer.

Regards,
Alex
